Kylie's responded to the gay gasps heard round the world with the announcement that she's retiring from music. So what did she have to say??

Find out after the jump!

The seven year itch is finally over. Justin Timberlake is trying to bring sexy back with his first new single in six years, "Suit and Tie." Was it worth the wait? Dive into it after the jump and let us know in the comments?

The early aughts are coming back in full force in 2013!

First, the biggest news of the morning that we awoke to (nope, not the Oscars)—that Justin Timberlake will bring sexy back in three days!—put a smile on our face; now, just in time for our lunchtime margarita, we have something extra to cheer to: the Destiny's Child reunion is confirmed!

But today we've gotten word that the ladies are taking one massive stage to make it official...

Today is giving us EVERYTHING in terms of music. 

First Destiny's Child makes the surprise announcement that they're releasing new material (we're guessing Michelle Williams is thrilled!) and now the man himself, Justin Timberlake has made his own announcement:

He's ready. 

Watch after the jump!

It really isn't complicated for us, Kentö. You're hot, can sing and are hot. That's the true definition of a triple threat, right? The L.A.-based nascent pop-star has been taken under Frankmusik's wing (a wing we'd like to get under) to embody his inspirations, Robyn, Elvis and Phoenix in one yummy, delectable sonic package. Swoon with us as we check out Kentö's new single, "Complicated," after the jump!

One Direction homo fan-fic sites have been overwhelmed and crashing all day long thanks to the group's new video, "Kiss You." In it, Harry Styles gives his perfectly manicured hands a break from Taylor Swift to tickle and feel-up Zayn Malik. There's also a shirtless beach scene, so if you're a One Direction fan, you might want to take off the rest of the week to enjoy "Kiss You."

It's not much of a surprise. In fact, it's about the squarest, most down-to-earth revelation we've ever heard out of Ke$ha's mouth. 

What are we talking about?

In her new interview with Seventeen, the great dolla-signed one admits she's bisexual AND goes on to take a stand against bullying. Is Ke$ha growing up from the days of brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack?

Just how do bad bitches do it? How about catching the eye of the entire world and fashion industry after taking over New York's underground music scene? That's how our obsession Azealia Banks, who will finally release her debut album this year, does it. Check out other ways our favorite mermaid rapunzel BBD's it in her new track after the jump!

The orgy of excess and abs on display in nightlife celebrity Jodie Marsh's new music video "If You Ain't Got Soul" is easily the type of night Stefan details regularly on Saturday Night Live.

Dive in deep into the hot house music video after the jump while we search for our invite to Jodie's next get-together. 

So, the Last Day of the World turned out to be just another excuse to drink with friends (not that we ever need an excuse.)

Should the Mayan Prophecy have held true, however, alien schoolchildren studying humanity’s final year would’ve learned the correct pronunciation of Ke$ha, how to have a proper kiki and other lessons thanks to a time capsule packed with the greatest pop-culture benchmarks of 2012 that we left in the office fridge next to a year-old carton of Coconut Water.

If the world had actually ended a few days ago, which pop songs would we have heartily co-signed as the absolute greatest in the history of histories ever in all of time combined for eternity in 2012? The Instinct editorial team (Editor In Chief Mike...

With the Scissor Sisters on an "indefinite hiatus" we were concerned that we might be seeing much less of the group's delectable front-man Jake Shears. 

But in a Christmas miracle, that's suddenly not the case! 

Shears is joining super-group Queens Of The Stone Age for their new record!

More after the jump. 

Rihanna takes us back to the 1950s in the music video for Unapologetic's second single, "Stay." Travel back in time to mid-twentieth century Havana with RiRi after the jump and let us know if you heart or hate the pop-star's new video in the comments.
